I just want you guys again to know the truth because I want — I wish I had had somebody like me, because I f’ing did a whole ton of research and everybody’s like, ‘Oh, God, it’s f***ing glamorous,’ you know? And I’m just like, ‘Everybody’s healing perfectly. Everybody’s fine. Nobody’s showing the nitty-gritty.’”

Just one day after going under the knife, Bunnie Xo offered fans a look at her visibly swollen face in an Instagram video on March 16.
The podcast host leaned into humor immediately, captioning the post, “I look like Bert Kreischer,” referencing the stand-up comedian.
The following day, Bunnie Xo opened up about why she went through with the procedure in the first place — and it wasn’t just about aesthetics.
“For everyone asking why I decided to do a facelift, old filler was one of the main reasons,” she wrote via Instagram. “I had stopped getting filler over 3 years ago in my face (I did have some in my lips tho), had it dissolved multiple times in my cheeks & it still was in my face.”
She continued, “It would be itchy, it would cause swelling in my cheeks & it continued to migrate to other places. Please take it from me, filler doesn’t dissolve in your body like we are told.”

“I still can’t laugh, I’m still in a lot of pain, I still feel like my throat’s closing right now as we talk,” Bunnie Xo began.
She also called out friends who had downplayed the experience.
“All my girlfriends who have had f’ing facelifts, which is quite a few of you bitches, have fing told me, ‘Oh, by day two, you’re going to be up and running around one week after. You’re going to be great,’” she added. “No, no, I’m not.”
Bunnie Xo described the post-surgery process as “the most brutal thing I’ve ever been through in my life.”
Her podcast team revealed the surgery lasted seven hours, while her friend shared that her face “smelled like pork rinds” during the procedure as her skin was being “burned off.”
